  <step n="10" goal="Completion communication and user support">
    <invoke-task>Validate against checklist at {installed_path}/checklist.md using _bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.md</invoke-task>
    <action>Prepare a concise summary in Dev Agent Record → Completion Notes</action>

    <action>Communicate to {user_name} that story implementation is complete and ready for review</action>
    <action>Summarize key accomplishments: story ID, story key, title, key changes made, tests added, files modified</action>
    <action>Provide the story file path and current status (now "review")</action>

    <action>Based on {user_skill_level}, ask if user needs any explanations about:
      - What was implemented and how it works
      - Why certain technical decisions were made
      - How to test or verify the changes
      - Any patterns, libraries, or approaches used
      - Anything else they'd like clarified
    </action>

    <check if="user asks for explanations">
      <action>Provide clear, contextual explanations tailored to {user_skill_level}</action>
      <action>Use examples and references to specific code when helpful</action>
    </check>

    <action>Once explanations are complete (or user indicates no questions), suggest logical next steps</action>
    <action>Recommended next steps (flexible based on project setup):
      - Review the implemented story and test the changes
      - Verify all acceptance criteria are met
      - Ensure deployment readiness if applicable
      - Run `code-review` workflow for peer review
      - Optional: If Test Architect module installed, run `/bmad:tea:automate` to expand guardrail tests
    </action>

    <output>💡 **Tip:** For best results, run `code-review` using a **different** LLM than the one that implemented this story.</output>
    <check if="{sprint_status} file exists">
      <action>Suggest checking {sprint_status} to see project progress</action>
    </check>
    <action>Remain flexible - allow user to choose their own path or ask for other assistance</action>
